The Fantasy and Sci-fi Fanatic's Podcast

For this episode of Season 4, I had the pleasure of interviewing Justin Lee Anderson! Justin was a professional writer and editor for 15 years before his debut novel, Carpet Diem, was published, going on to win the 2018 Audie award for Humor. His second novel, The Lost War, won the 2020 SPFBO award, leading to a four-book deal with Orbit for The Eidyn Saga. I really enjoyed his book The Lost War and it was one of my 3 favorite fantasy reads of 2024. Two short animations Justin scripted and produced were shortlisted for Scottish Creative awards, and he also writes TV and film scripts with his wife, Juliet. Their children's audio story, The Great Bumpkin King, was produced by BBC Scotland in 2019. Justin and Juliet live with their family in East Lothian, near Justin's hometown of Edinburgh.

For this episode of Season 4, I had the pleasure of interviewing science fiction author Keith McWalter. We had a terrific chat about his newest novel Lifers. This was such a cool premise for me and I had to interview him to see where his ideas originated and where they were going to end up. Here is the blurb: In the year 2050, the man known as Zinn is on the run from the consequences of his greatest creation: an artificial genome that wildly increases the human lifespan. His “Methuselah gene” has gone viral, and he's being hunted by Adele, a semi-retired CIA biowarfare specialist who hopes to find a way to reverse the genome's effects before it's too late. As the longevity plague spreads, populations explode, economies are upended, and intergenerational resentments boil over. Adele searches for a cure while her former lover, Dan Altman, and his wife, Marion, wealthy political operatives both, become leaders of a movement of hundred-plus-year-old “lifers” and fight to create a sanctuary for the ultra-aged in the wilds of Colorado. Meanwhile, the Altmans' son, Nolan, thinks he has the answer to the longevity crisis: a suicide pill that kills after one year, a death wish algorithm that will influence the super-aged to take it, and his beautiful daughter, Claire, who is a spokesperson for the growing anti-lifer backlash and the head of the federal government's new Department for Longevity Management.

For this Book Review, I talk about what I enjoyed about Shami Stovall's book Time-Marked Warlock. This was a great read and I loved the magic system within this urban fantasy world, particularly when it came to the warlocks. I really enjoyed the characters and their relationship, particularly Adair's relationship with his friend's daughter Bree. These two made for a ton of fun seeing them solve a mystery together because it is always a fun ride when you have an older jaded character with a youthful smiling face ready to see the world for the first time. The story itself was excellent so please make sure to check this one and the sequel Chronos Warlock which is already out in Kindle and Audible format!

This one was a ton of fun and we had some great laughs reflecting on their processes and their future goals for the series. What is this online series about? Ren: The Girl with the Mark is an award-winning fantasy-adventure web series created by Kate Madison and Christopher Dane. Ren (Oriana Charles) is a young woman whose life changes forever when she is Marked by an ancient spirit and becomes a feared Nu'Mahri. Season Two finds her on the run with Hunter (Alexander Hackett), a man she barely knows. The pair set out to find the Archivist, a mysterious Mahri expert who may hold the key to removing the spirit from Ren. But Commander Othon (Richard Zeman) and the Kah'Nath army are closing in, and both Ren and Hunter will have to make dangerous decisions on the way to their goal.
